Do you like carbonated water like La Croix? It's my go to beverage ever since I gave up juices and soda, whenever I'm not drinking regular water, coffee, or tea.
 
La Croix isn't my favorite but maybe it's more the fact I don't go actively looking for the flavors I like. I do like carbonated water but it's better cold and with some flavor. And I tend to like it with something to eat but not when I feel full.
 
I don't know if carbonated water and sparkling water are the same thing exactly, but I've been drinking this sparkling water from Clear American. It might be some Walmart brand, I don't really know, but it's really good and it has a lot of good flavors like key lime, peach, fuji apple, and a few others that aren't my thing, but other people might like.
 
I personally despise the taste of artificial sweetener e.g. aspartame. I prefer natural flavors if any.
 
I used to drink carbonated water a Brand called Bubble I never really liked any tbh but it's just my opinion.

The machine itself is can be anywhere to $70 to $90. However the cO2 cartridges can cost around the same. ...and that's not including flavoring. It's just more convenient to buy cans or bottles of carbonated water.

I think the reason carbonated drinks have still been popular is you can send them back for money but that means the poorer folk will rely on them reading in the machine instead of getting their own from a big box store.
 
Yes people are willing to pay for convenience. Same goes for beer. You can spend $6 on a bottle/pint/glass of beer at a restaurant to have with your meal or you can go to the grocery store and buy a 12 pack for $15.

Yeah that's why I haven't been able to justify the cost. Perhaps some day the convenience might justify it but it's just as easy to grab a pack of carbonated water when I shop for groceries.

I'd pay that if in the long run its cheaper in buying the same amount in soda bottles, but unlikely.

I think the same can go towards 3D Printers. They are cool to have and it takes up space for the cost of the service you want. It can decentralize the service you want, but you still need the materials to make it. This only works in favor of the buyer if everyone or a vast majority could have one, but either way, you are paying for having someone deliver it to you or a store. They have to have it cost more and with no incentive, because I think big drink selling businesses would have to employ fewer people with less labor, offer less product, and therefore take up less space at a grocery store. The way it's set up they want any non-employee to pay up and basically give them their bottle/can material for free.
 
I used to drink pop many years ago but since giving it up, I cannot tolerate any carbonation at all. How do you all like the taste of carbonated waters?
